A 23-year-old male, along with his girlfriend and their infant son, drove to a parking lot at the above location to buy cellphones from someone they did not know. Several suspects, described only as black males, arrived for the meeting. One of them, armed with a loaded shotgun, attempted to enter the male's vehicle and rob him. The male, in the back seat with his infant son, was unable to exit the vehicle because of child safety locks. He produced a pistol and fired at the robbery suspect, killing him.

The remaining suspects fled the scene.
